When Your Skin Starts Speaking: It Might Be Hives

One moment, your skin is fine; the next, itchy, raised, red welts appear out of nowhere. Hives, or urticaria, can seem mysterious, but they’re actually your immune system trying to say something.

At OBUR Health, we help decode those signals. Whether your flare-ups are random, reaction-based, or chronic, we provide compassionate, quick, and effective hives treatment in Houston, with options for virtual visits, in-home care, and clinic evaluations.
